A few points before starting

The Italian language has both formal and informal forms of speech. Only the informal form is used here.

Gender. Italian nouns are either masculine or feminine. Most masculine nouns end in o and most feminine nouns end with a.

Adjectives. Adjectives agree with nouns. This means that the ending of the adjective changes depending on whether the noun is singular, plural, masculine or feminine.

The Italian sentences in this course do not use complicated grammatical constructions, but still demonstrate many important concepts
